A local nonprofit’s recent venture into virtual fundraising was a killer good time.
The Prairieland United Way’s 2020 annual campaign is winding down for the year. Due to the pandemic, the usual in-person large fundraiser such as last year’s the Price is United event just wasn’t an option.
This year’s fundraiser moved online with the virtual murder mystery Bullets in the Bathtub. The virtual event took participants back to the 1930s for an evening of gangsters set in Cherry’s Speakeasy.
Karen Walker, Executive Director of Prairieland United Way says the event was definitely a new experience for all who took part.
